CLEANING AND POLISHING COMPOUND.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MASATARO OKAMURO, a subject of the Emperor of Japan, residing in the city and county of Los Angeles, and

State of California, have invented a new Cleaning and Polishing Compound, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a new and novel improvement in compounds, and

its principal object is to provide'a comparatively inexpensive cleaner or detergent, especially adapted for cleaning paint, varnish and woodwork, and which will do its work of cleaning rapidly and thoroughly and without detriment to the objects being cleaned or discomfort to'the hands of'the user.

Another object is to produce a new polish or gloss-finish on any articles having a polished, varnished, or similarly treated surface.

The product hereinafter described is particularly rapid in its action, free from any ingredients which are at all detrimental to 26 the painted or polished surfaces of woodwork, stonework, metal work and the like, and is a useful renovator for furniture. It is an excellent disinfectant.

In carrying this invention into effect the 30 product consists of the following ingredients and proportions, the latter of which may be varied without departing from the Application filed August 4, 1924. Serial No. 730,001.

nature of this invention; namely: Furfural one-half gallon; gasoline, one-half gallon; common household ammonia 5%, one-tenth gallon; carbolie acid, two ounces; vinegar, one gallon; soap (in cake form) six pounds, and water one and one-half gallons.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention or compound, I here describe the mode of manufacturing and how to use it.

The soap is first boiled in one and onehalf gallons of water, and then the other ingredients are added to it, and the compound is then mixed thoroughly. The best wayto use this composition is to moisten a linen'or cotton rag with the compound, and then briskly rub the article to be cleaned with the aforesaid rag.

The treated surface dries quickly. Analogously, this compound may be used for removing paint and grease spots from clothing, cloth fabrics, wall paper, and the like.

What is claimed is:

A. cleaner consisting of the following ingredients mixed together, furfural, one-half gallon, gasoline, one-half gallon, ammonia, one-tenth gallon, carbolic acid, two ounces, vinegar, one gallon, soap, six pounds, and water, one and one-half gallons.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto affix my signature.

MASATARO OKAMURO.
